The condensation temperatures are calculated for a number of refractory trace metals from a gas of solar composition at 10 -3 and 10 -4 atm. total pressure. Instrumental neutron activation analysis of Ca-Al-rich inclusions in the Allende carbonaceous chondrite reveals enrichments of 22.8 ± 2.2 in the concentrations of Ir, Sc and the rare earths relative to Cl chondrites. Such enrichments cannot be due to magmatic differentiation processes because of the marked differences in chemical behavior between Ir and Sc, exhibited by their distributions in terrestrial igneous rocks and meteorites. All of these elements should have condensed from a cooling gas of solar composition above or within the range of condensation temperatures of the major mineral phases of the inclusions, which suggests that these inclusions are high-temperature condensates from the primitive solar nebula. Gas-dust fractionation of these materials may have been responsible for the depletion of refractory elements in the ordinary and enstatite chondrites relative to the carbonaceous chondrites.
